wheres the oil filter???
and wheres the drain plug thing to drain the oil??

 

Oh jeez.....

Ok. If you have ramps... put your car up on ramps. The oil filter is up under the drivers side header almost. Behind it in the back of the engine. You will see it when you get under there. The drain plug is on the OIL PAN. It is a 14 mm wrench I think... I could be wrong.

Last time I changed my oil I put one 3 ton jack under the front cross member and a small one under the passenger side jack point. I jacked up the car and drained the oil and used the small jack on the side to tilt the car slighty so all of the oil would run out of the bottom of the pan. I got under the car behind the wheel (I had enough space) and was able to use a big wrench to loosen the filter then hand screw it off. I hand screwed a FRAM hihg performance one back on and filled my car with Synthetic blend. Next 1000 miles I am doing full synthetic. Easy job. BTW

When yout take out the drain plug don't lose the small washer/gasket. You might want to clean it and turn it around unless you buy a new one, I was to lazy to go bakc out to the store and get this little part because mine was still fine wiht a rubber seal inside it.

good luck

 

Both are on the driver's side. You will need to jack the car up a bit to get under the car.

Pretty straight forward, just remember to put a thin layer of oil around the new oil filter gasket, and don't overtighten the drain plug.

Do a search, i think its in this forum there was already a post that replied to today about oil changes

 

I just overhauled the engine in my car, but now I have two pieces left over -- the drain plug and the oil filter! Can someone help me figure out where these go!!?? j/k
